      <![CDATA[I'm having a tough time figuring out why this letter is even posted on StyleWeekly.com. Wojahn is simply engaging in the same petty politics he crticizes Limbaugh and Beck for (apparently, the liberal venom spewers are only innocent bystanders, as they remain unnamed) and is not otherwise offering anything of note.

      <![CDATA["Cantor Constituent" - a/k/a Diradour's buddy. I don't care for Cantor, but I have no reason to doubt he was taking notes on a speech that, unlike others, was not released ahead of time.

      <![CDATA[FanGuy, <br><br>There's an old Will Rogers saying:  "I would rather be the man who bought the Brooklyn Bridge, rather than the one who sold it." So, if you want to believe that Cantor was simply taking notes, then I bet you might be interested in a bridge in Brooklyn.

      <![CDATA[Wojahn is right of course, but Cantor's daily political decisions are much more disturbing and should inspire local professional writers to take up their pens in public spheres far more often then just after moments like the Blackberry incident.<br>Just the other day at the RTD forum, Cantor counseled a woman dying from tumorswho had just lost her job and benefitsto seek "current gov. programs" or "CHARITY." That's your future, middle AmericaBegging for help if Cantor and his ilk somehow come back to power.
